High levels of brominated flame retardants can alter pregnant women’s thyroid hormones, which are critical to a baby’s growth and brain development, according to a California study published Monday. The study is considered important because it is the first human research showing a link between the ubiquitous chemicals and altered levels of the hormones in pregnant women. The effects on babies are unknown, but some researchers say it may lead to smaller fetuses, and reduce children’s intelligence and motor skills.

Forget all this hype from Big Pharma about a new drug that may or may not work. 

Lower your cholesterol all naturally with the following home made cocktail: 

32 Ounces of freshly squeezed oranges (not store bought and pasteurized brand orange juices)

32 Ounces of freshly juice apples with pulp (store bought apple juice will not work)

  3 ounces of organic apple cider vinegar

 Blend these three together, and this is an 8 day supply, MAKE SURE TO REFRIGERATE after blending.

 Drink 8 ounces per day, on an empty stomach, for 30 days straight; yes you need to remake the recipe above, every 8 days.

After 30 days take one to two cans of Zija per day for nutritional maintenance.

ScienceDaily (Mar. 11, 2010) — People whose “bad” cholesterol and risk of future heart disease stay too high despite cholesterol-lowering statin therapy can safely lower it by adding a drug that mimics the action of thyroid hormone. In a report published in the Mar. 11, issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, Johns Hopkins and Swedish researchers say an experimental drug called eprotirome lowered cholesterol up to 32 percent in those already on statins, an effect equal to that expected from doubling the statin drug doses, without harmful side effects.
